Its basically just a scale/or a chord shape. And you play down it note at a time and back up it note at a time. Played slow its just gonna sound like a standard scale but if you get em up to speed then they can be used to a devastating effect
Theres actually some pretty handy videos on youtube that i reckon could help. Just take a look around on there.

Sweep picking is like the only thing I'm really good at.

This vid is probably my favorite one out there on sweep picking and it was the one that I started learning with...Technique for both hands is demonstrated perfectly in this...
